Middle Atlantic Floor BOX Cover Assembly - RFB119BTCBK

Middle Atlantic RFB119BTCBK Floor Box Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RFB119BTCBK is a flush-mount cover assembly designed for the RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor boxes, providing a clean, low-profile finish for in-floor cable access points in commercial and enterprise environments. At just 1.5 inches tall with a 12.5-inch depth profile, this cover sits nearly flush with tile or carpet surfaces — eliminating trip hazards and keeping pathways clear in high-traffic areas like conference rooms, boardrooms, open-plan offices, and security operations centers. The black finish integrates unobtrusively with most commercial flooring, and TAA compliance makes it a straightforward specification for government, federal, and public-sector projects subject to procurement rules.

Middle Atlantic is a well-established name in structured rack and infrastructure products for AV, security, and IT environments. The RFB119BTCBK is part of that same commitment to clean, professional in-room infrastructure — the kind of finish detail that separates a polished installation from a rough one.

Key Features

• Low-Profile 1.5-Inch Height: At 1.5 in (3.8 cm) above floor level, this cover assembly stays nearly flush with the finished surface. That matters in high-traffic zones — boardrooms, lobbies, and security operations centers — where a protruding floor box is both a trip hazard and a visual liability.
• 12.5-Inch Depth Compatibility: The 12.5 in (31.8 cm) depth accommodates the deeper RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor box bodies, giving you room to manage cable routing and terminations inside the box without cramping connectors or straining bend radii.
• 1.75-Inch Width Profile: The narrow 1.75 in (4.4 cm) width keeps the cover footprint compact — practical when floor boxes are positioned close to furniture legs or under workstations where clearance is tight.
• Flush Tile or Carpet Installation: Engineered specifically for tile and carpet finished floors, this cover is designed so the surface sits level with surrounding flooring. A clean flush fit prevents dirt accumulation at the edges and reduces visible seams that make installations look unfinished.
• Black Finish: The black colorway matches standard commercial floor box hardware and blends with dark carpet or tile without drawing attention. Consistent color across box and cover keeps the overall installation looking intentional rather than mismatched.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance means the RFB119BTCBK meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — a non-negotiable specification for federal agency deployments, GSA schedule purchases, and many state and local government contracts. You can include this part in TAA-compliant floor box assemblies without needing a compliance waiver.

Integration & Compatibility

The RFB119BTCBK is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor box systems. It is not a universal fit — verify your existing floor box series before ordering. If you are specifying a complete floor box assembly from scratch, pair this cover with the matching RFB9 or RFB11 series box body and any required inserts for power, data, or AV connectivity. For installations requiring rack and infrastructure accessories, Middle Atlantic offers a full line of complementary components.

The detail that separates a professional floor box installation from a rough one is the cover — and the RFB119BTCBK gets the specifics right. At 1.5 inches of reveal above the finished floor surface and a 12.5-inch depth designed for the RFB9/RFB11 concrete box bodies, this cover keeps the assembly flush without creating an edge that catches carpet fibers or tiles over time.

Technical Highlights:

• 1.5 in height: Flush-to-floor profile eliminates trip liability in occupied spaces — critical in conference rooms and SOCs where cables and floor boxes are in constant foot-traffic zones.
• 12.5 in depth: Full-depth access to the box interior means connectors and cable slack don't get pinched at the opening — important when terminating Cat6A or fiber inside the box after the floor is finished.
• TAA compliance: Verified TAA status means this part drops cleanly into federal or GSA-schedule bill-of-materials without a sourcing exception — no last-minute substitutions at closeout.

Deployment Considerations:

• This cover is series-specific — it fits RFB9 and RFB11 Middle Atlantic concrete floor boxes only. Measure your existing box opening and confirm the series designation before including this in a material list; a wrong-series cover on poured concrete means a costly re-core.
• At 1.75 inches wide, the cover footprint is narrow — but verify furniture clearance in fully furnished rooms before finalizing floor box placement, since access requires opening the cover fully.

Best fit for TAA-required commercial buildouts — federal offices, courthouses, and government operations centers — where in-floor connectivity needs to meet both aesthetic and procurement compliance standards without compromise.
